Brief Answer:
Treatment of 3 medical conditions.Drugs necessary to keep the under control
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
So seems like your wife is getting treated for Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, High lipids in the blood, Anxiety or Fibromyalgia and also is taking some supplements with calcium and vitamin D.
All medications are right and do not interact with each other.
She maybe has 3 for diabetes and if her blood sugar is not controlled well, next step would be starting insulin. So 3 meds less, but surely insulin is more anoying to use for those who do not like needles.
For sure they give side effects but the potencial side effects are less comparing to the benefits of keeping under control these conditions that she has.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
